WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY:

None.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:

A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for...
* Bermuda

A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are
expected somewhere within the warning area.

Interests in southeastern Newfoundland should monitor the progress
of Ernesto.  A watch may be required for a portion of this area
Sunday morning.

For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Ernesto was
located near latitude 33.3 North, longitude 64.0 West.  Ernesto is
moving toward the north-northeast near 6 mph (9 km/h), and this 
slow motion is expected to continue through tonight.  An 
acceleration toward the north-northeast is forecast to begin on 
Sunday, with a turn toward the northeast and east-northeast 
occurring on Monday and Tuesday.  On the forecast track, the
center of Ernesto will slowly move away from Bermuda through 
tonight and pass near southeastern Newfoundland late Monday and 
Monday night.

Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher
gusts.  No significant change in strength is forecast during the 
next 48 hours, and Ernesto should remain near or at hurricane 
strength through Monday.  The cyclone will likely become 
post-tropical near southeastern Newfoundland by Monday night or 
Tuesday morning.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 230 miles
(370 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 976 mb (28.82 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Ernesto can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5 and WMO header WTNT45 KNHC
and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT5.shtml.

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are likely to continue on Bermuda
through tonight, with hurricane-force gusts possible in rainbands.

STORM SURGE:  Coastal flooding is still possible on Bermuda in areas
of onshore winds.  Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by
large and destructive waves.

RAINFALL:  Ernesto is expected to produce an additional 1 to 2
inches (25 to 50 mm) of rainfall through tonight across Bermuda,
with storm total amounts of 7 to 9 inches (175 to 225 mm). This 
rainfall will likely result in considerable life-threatening flash 
flooding to the island, especially in low-lying areas.

SURF:  Swells generated by Ernesto are affecting portions of the
Bahamas, Bermuda, the east coast of the United States, and Atlantic
Canada today.  Life-threatening surf and rip current conditions are
likely in these areas during the next couple of days.  Please
consult products from your local weather office, and stay out of the
water if advised by lifeguards.

result in considerable life-threatening flash flooding, especially
in low-lying areas on the island.

SURF: Swells generated by Ernesto are affecting portions of the
Bahamas, Bermuda, and the east coast of the United States and will
reach portions of Atlantic Canada today.  Life-threatening surf and

A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected

Interests in Atlantic Canada should monitor the progress of Ernesto.

For storm information specific to your area, please monitor

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
Surface observations indicate that Ernesto made landfall on the 
western side of Bermuda around 430 AM AST (0830 UTC). At 500 AM AST 
(0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Ernesto was located near 
latitude 32.3 North, longitude 64.8 West. Ernesto is moving toward 
the north-northeast near 9 mph (15 km/h), and this general motion is 
expected today.  A faster northeastward motion is then expected late 
this weekend into early next week.  On the forecast track, the 
center of Ernesto is expected to slowly depart Bermuda today and 
move near or east of Newfoundland Monday night.

Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 85 mph (140 km/h)
with higher gusts.  Little change in strength is forecast today.
Some re-intensification is possible late in the weekend before
weakening begins on Monday.

Ernesto is a large tropical cyclone. Hurricane-force winds extend
outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center and tropical-storm-
force winds extend outward up to 240 miles (390 km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 972 mb (28.71 inches).  
The National Museum on Bermuda recently reported a central pressure 
of 972 mb (28.71 mb).

and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT5.shtml.

WIND:  Hurricane conditions are expected on Bermuda through the
next several hours.  Due to Ernesto's large size and slow motion,
strong winds will continue on the island through most of today.

STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce
significant coastal flooding on Bermuda in areas of onshore winds.
Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and
destructive waves.

RAINFALL: Ernesto is expected to produce total rain accumulations of
6 to 9 inches or 150 to 225 mm on Bermuda. This rainfall will likely
result in considerable life-threatening flash flooding, especially
in low-lying areas on the island.

SURF: Swells generated by Ernesto are affecting portions of the the 
Bahamas, Bermuda, and the east coast of the United States. These 
swells will likely reach portions of Atlantic Canada by tonight.  
Life-threatening surf and rip current conditions are likely in these 
areas during the next couple of days.  Please consult products from 
your local weather office, and stay out of the water if advised by 
lifeguards.

A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected

For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.


DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 AM AST (0600 UTC), the center of Hurricane Ernesto was
located near latitude 32.0 North, longitude 65.1 West. Ernesto is
moving toward the north-northeast near 13 mph (20 km/h). A gradual
slowdown is expected during the next day or so.  An accelerating
northeastward motion is then expected late this weekend into early
next week.  On the forecast track, the center of Ernesto is expected
to pass near or over Bermuda within a few hours and near or east of
Newfoundland Monday night.

Maximum sustained winds remain near 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some gradual weakening is forecast over the next day or so,
though some re-intensification is possible late in the weekend.

Ernesto is a large tropical cyclone. Hurricane-force winds extend
outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center and tropical- 
storm-force winds extend outward up to 275 miles (445 km). The L. 
F. Wade International Airport on Bermuda recently reported 
sustained winds of 61 mph (98 km/h) with a gust to 84 mph (135 
km/h).

The estimated minimum central pressure based on data from an Air
